COMPOSTING PET WASTE
Manure has been used as fertilizer for many centuries. The
beyondGREEN Waste Composter can safely compost pet waste and
most cat litter, along with our patented and certified compostable
beyondGREEN Bags. Internal temperatures reach or exceed 160F (60C),
which eliminate harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella,
therefore the compost can be safely used for home gardening
purposes. Please follow these safety guidelines:
First gain experience using your composter for several weeks, with
food only.
Always use caution when handling pet waste. Wash hands after
handling.
Be sure your pet is healthy and disease free.
Pregnant women should never handle cat droppings due to
toxoplasmosis risk.
Pet droppings are generally “green” waste, so balance with sawdust
pellets.
Do not attempt to compost pet hair or fur. They will jam.
Cat litter and cage beddings: read ingredients list or contact the
manufacturer to determine if it is safe and chemical free. Organic or
beyondGREEN products are best. Test just a small amount first. Most
cat litter is “brown” material.
beyondGREEN bags take about 7-14 days to breakdown. If you do a
transfer and you see some of your beyondGREEN bags not fully
composted, just leave them. It is fine and they will continue to
breakdown in the lower cure chamber.
